The Glintstone Nails is a Finger sorcery in Elden Ring. It is part of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.
Glintstone Nails is a glintstone sorcery of Count Ymir, High Priest, one of the finger sorceries said to have been found in a hallowed ruin, which he dismisses as mere child's play and an echo of a greater truth. It flings six slow magic nails that crumble in flight but track targets extremely well, spreading damage across distant or agile foes at medium range. Charging raises the damage of each nail and lets the Godfrey Icon boost the cast, while the Maternal Staff and Finger Robe add more power. It pairs well with crowd control and zoning spells to keep steady pressure on several targets. It suits finger sorcery builds centered on the Maternal Staff.
Effect
Flings six slow magic nails with strong tracking that crumble in flight; charging increases damage. Each cast costs 23 FP and 26 stamina and takes up one memory slot.
